RAZOR-BLADESTROPPING HANDLE.

Appncation ined .i'uiy 2,

To all "1e/tom. it may concer/i Be it known that I. @Hannes l". Lanzi;- Liann7 a citizen. of the United States ot America, residing at Flint. in the county ot' Genesee and State ot Michigan. have invented certain new and useful lmprovements in `Razor-Bladetropping '.lflandles` ot' which the `tollowingris a specification. reference being had therein to the aceonuninving drawings.

The invention relates to razor blade stropping handles and is more particularly designed 'for use in connection with a type of blade having.T end projections or shoulders adjacent to its rear edge. To this end the invention consists in the construction as hereinafter set forth.

In the drawings:

Figure l is a longitudinal section, through the stroppinglr handle showing the blade in engagement therewith g .Figure 2 is a cross-section on line 2-2 ot` Figure l;

Figure is a Cross-section on line 3-3 of Figure l.

A is a tubular member having a slit B therein of sul'iicient width to receive the razor blade. and and C are cheek plates projecting outward from the tubular inember A on opposite sides ot said slit. D is a handle `member which has a portion E of a type to telescopicallg7 receive the tubular member A. a portion ot' a larger diameter 'forming the handle proper and also forming.r a housinpr t'or a spring` (lr sleeved upon the member A. The spring (il abuts against a collar H which is secured to the member .A by a swedg'ed end portion I thereof. The spring' (nl has its opposite end abutting against aV shoulder formed by the contracted portion E ot the member D and the arrangement is such that when the spring is expanded. it will telescopically draw the member A completel)v within the member D. l is the razor blade which is provided adjacent to its rear edge with the projecting portions K and l at opposite ends thereof. This blade is adapted to be inserted between the cheek plates C and Cv through the slit B and the projection K may then be inserted within an. unslitted end portion ot the member A. The member K is passed through the slit B and then held trom disengagement by the tubular portion D ot the handie whirh latter is pressed against the end 1921. Serial No. 482,091.

ot the blade by the tension ot' the spring G. [J is a notch in the end ot' tbe handle D for engaging' the inner end ot' the. blade J to hold the saine and the member from rotation within said handle. The handle D is also slotted on its rear -sfide to receive the cheek plates C and t" when reversed from their normal position. Thus the member A. will be drawn inward by the spring Gr and completely housed within the handle meniber.

lfith the eonstrlution as described, it will be understood that to engage the blade. to the holder the member A. is i'st drawn outward against the tension of the spring Gr. is then revolved ,through one-half a revolution. the blade is then inserted between the cheek plates and through the slot B andthe tension ot' the sprin; r (t will then draw the n'ojection l of the blade into the handle D and the blade into engagement with the notch L. This will securely* hold the blade through the stropping operation. after which it may be disengaged b v pulling the member A. outward to disengage the projection K and then withd'awing the blade laterally.

lllhat I claim as my invention is:

l. A razor blade strol'iping handle comprising a tubular member slitted t-o reeeive the edge ot a razor blade having projections at opposite ends thereof', one of said projections beingadapted to underlap the portion ot' said tube at one end of said slit.. a tubular member telescopiin,Y over said first-mentioned member and overlapping the projection at the opposite end ot said blade` and resilient vieldable means for relativelv movingP said members into collapsed position.

A razor blade etropping handle com- ].nfisinr a tubular member slitted to receive the rear edge ot a razor blade having` oppo site end projections. said tubular member being provided with Cheek platesprojectingr `from opposite sides ot the slit to reeeive the blade and a tubular member teleseop in;r over said rst-mentioned member. the. last-mentioned member being." slitt-ed on one. side to receive said cheek plates. and a spring` arranged between said tubular members and abuttingagainst opposite. shoulders thereon tor relativelv moving the same when in collapsed position.

P.. A razor blade stroppine' handle romprisme a tubular member slitt-ed to reeeive a razor blade having4 opposite end projections` said member being* provided Witli eli-eek plates on opposite sides o'l said slit projeeting outward and forming supporting bearings for tlie blade, a tubular 1nember havingr a portion surrmimling, and litting said first-mentioned tubular member and another portion of larger diameter sur rounding,- the same, a spring sleeved upon the inner tubular member in tlie enlarged portion of the outer member and bearing,l at one 'end against the shoulder between the smaller and larger portions of said outer member` a Collar on said inner member 'forming an opposite abutment 'tor said sprintf, said outer member being slitted on one side for the reception oi said cheek plates when turned into registration tiere- \vitli, and a note-l1 in said outer member at the opposite side trom said slit tor engaging said blade to hold the same from rotation.

4c. A razor blade stroppingl handle comprising' a tubular member slitted to receive =tlie edge of a razor blade liavimg` projections -at opposite ends thereof, 011e of said in'ojectrons being adapted to nnderlap the portion ot said tube at one end oi said slit,

an outer tubular memberV telescoping' over said tiret-mentioned member and 'overlap- ,iing tlie projeetion at tbe opposite .end of said blade, said outer tubular member beingl slotted to engage a transverse edge ot 'said blade to liold tbe same from rotation, and resilientyieldable means for relatively movingsaid members to engage said blade in said slot.

razor blade stropping` handle comprising a tubular member slitted to receive tbe rear edge ot' a blade provided with end projet-'ting portions, one of said projecting` portions bennar adaptedV to underlap a portion ot said member at one end of said slit,v an outer tubular member with VWliieii said tiret mentioned member is telescopirailvengaged adapted to overlap the projeetion at tbe opposite end of the blade to prevent lateral. movement thereof. said outer member having an enlarged portion forming' the handle, and resilient means housed in the enlarged 'portion of said outer tube for relatively moving said members into collapsed position.

In testimony whereof I a'tiX my signature.
